At Candelaria and Eubank, construction has Eubank down to one right lane. Roadwork at Tramway and Comanche may stop or slow traffic. The New Mexico Department of Transportation will be working on pedestrian bridges between Montgomery and Candelaria along with the offramp at I-25 and Montgomery, which has brought traffic to a standstill during peak hours. It is best to avoid the area between 9 a.m and 5 p.m.   For more information on construction and traffic, check out the city barricade map and monthly traffic report here.

Patrons can get the ears in bundles of 12 for $9 or six for $5.  Schwebach Farm is used by vendors at the State Fair every year for roasted corn and can be seen at local farmers markets throughout…

The first application for a safe open space which would be managed with resources and a temporarily place to call home, has been turned in. The site at 1250 Menaul NE, just west of I-25, is a 510,000-square-foot lot, which would give 11 acres for the site to handle a large capacity of homeless residents. The lot is across from the T-Mobile call center, right next to the Sunset Memorial Cemetery. Besides the Quality Inn across the street, which takes homeless housing vouchers already, and a few other office buildings, there is no residential housing nearby, which complies with the…

A new study from paleontologists suggest humans occupied the Colorado Plateau in New Mexico along the Rio Grande more than 37,000 years ago, which is much earlier than previously thought by experts.  The site where butchered mammoth bones were discovered by hiker Gary Hartley in 2013 was a hiking and game trail in Rio Puerco Canyon northwest of Albuquerque. While out walking, Hartley found a tusk poking out of the ground, and during the initial mammoth excavation paleontologists found three ribs, a broken tooth along with a fractured skull, and an obsidian-pointed Clovis projectile just a few meters from the tusk.…
